Becoming Yourself

Know yourself better—and understand the people around you more fully—with a fresh, practical approach to the wisdom of the Enneagram from a top author in the field.

The Enneagram is one of the most powerful self-awareness tools we can access for greater happiness, success, and fulfilment. But if we just identify our own "Ennea-type" and its most overt characteristics—then don't go any further—we're not tapping this powerful thought system's full potential.

Enneagram expert Robert Holden wants us to have a fuller picture—not just to understand what our own type means for us personally, but to learn to see the people around us through the Enneagram's lens and navigate our lives by its light. Becoming Yourself is designed to be inviting and exciting, a reader-friendly deep dive full of timeless wisdom and practical tips you can put to use in your life right now.

You'll start by pinpointing your Enneagram type (if you think you know it already, you may want to think again). Then you'll explore all 9 of the types in detail—since all their energies are present in all of us—to know yourself more fully and understand others more deeply. On every page, you'll find insight and guidance to help you:

• Thrive in your personal relationships
• Excel at work
• Improve your mental health
• Walk your spiritual path
• Live your purpose
• And more

"Robert Holden has a deep and thorough understanding of the Enneagram and the psychological patterns of nine types," says Russ Hudson, president of the Enneagram Institute, who has worked closely with Robert to bring the Enneagram to audiences around the world. "But more importantly, he well understands the deeper dimensions of the Enneagram work as well as its true purpose—teaching us all to live lives of greater compassion, wisdom, and graciousness."
